>> this sound is located on the gulf of alaska, a couple hundred miles south of anchorage . this beautiful expansive enclosed waters with islands and peninsulas and coastlines, a population of sea birds and fish and animals and sea otters and so on. anyone who ever visited prince william sound has just been stunned by the natural beauty. and, relatively untouched by man, you see little development at all, a few little fishing villages, a few fishing boats on the water, maybe some cargo vessels with containers to the poor valdez, but very little touch from the hand of man. so, then you have this tanker that spilled the oil and swallowed everything in sight and it was a shock to the conscience and into the consciousness, how could this happen >> what does, when oil spilled into a large body of water like that, what does it do to it how fast is it travel? do we know >> the oil in and of itself doesn't travel very fast, it floats on the top and is carried by currents it doesn't intend to disperse rapidly into the water if the water is calm but if you get a storm as happened afte

it's a couple hundred miles south of anchorage. north to south, it's probably more or less in the middle of the state. so it's this beautiful expansive enclosed waters with islands and peninsulas and coastlines and if you get a storm, as happened at prince william sound, it gets churned into the waves and. when it's on the surface, it's a threat to birds and sea otters and whales because they have to come up to breathe. it hits the beaches and destroys the beach ecosystems. when was, i guess, exxon alerted that the spill had happened and when did the actual efforts ts to try and stop it begin? >> well, i'm sure that exxon was alerted immediately by the crew of the ship. we're parked on bly reef in prince william sound and we're leaking oil. i know for a fact the kapt captf the ship got on the radio and called the coast guard in skrvaz immediately and said evidently we're leaking some oil. he said on the radio he was going to try to rock the boat and get off the reef and proceed which was just a terrifying possibility. the ship was

there a very choppy seas indeed the ship as we see it right now on all monitors is just outside the anchorage it's not in the strait of gibraltar gets it is expected to head west further into the mediterranean a destination on in all the tracking sites have the trans transponder message being sent from the ship still saying mediterranean destination unknown it doesn't say that but there is nobody knows where it is heading so we have a situation whereby finally this super tanker with 2100000 tonnes of crude light oil is underway and the crisis over being stormed on july the 4th and the suing court case in which the supremes court ruled that iran had given assurances that the the cargo would not be delivered to syria and once that assurance was made the supremes court ruled that the detention order could be lifted that was after 40. days we're now into the 46th day she's been waiting for extra crew and as i say there is a technical issue there was a technical issue whether that's being fully resolved is unclear speed is slow right now but that wouldn't be too surprising when she's leaving the a

it came up to where anchorage is. a completely different body of water and by sea several hundred miles. we talked a few minutes ago about who had to come up with a response plan. i told you the primary responsibility lay on the spiller, which is true. at the same time all the agencies, federal and state that are in line to participate in the spill, they have to have their own response time to say what they are going to do. everybody in prince william sound, every agency in prince william sound was theoretically ready, as a practical matter. none of them were. they were on the fronds lit lin. the oil spill had a devastating impact. that other than the people who worked for the oil industry, fishing was the mainstay of the economy. outside of valdez it was fishing. they get salmon out of this. fish, herring, crab and after the spill, the fisheries were closed because it would have only taken one oil salmon to hit the market in seattle to just destroy the market for years to come. they just shut it down and said no fish

we saw such a warm month in july across alaska that we shattered records in anchorage.impacts on local fisheries, killing off salmon and trout. across europe five countries that set their hottest day on record from the united kingdom, the netherlands and in sweden, north of the arctic circle they recorded their highest ever temperature and it has profound impacts on the arctic sea. we lost 12.5 billion tons of ice in a single day in greenland and that has a profound impact on the coverage of sea ice. you are seeing it disappear before your eyes. what is happening? we are starting to measure warming gases that trap the heat in the earth higher than any recorded time in history. 800,000 years we have ice core, tree ring simples and other biological data that allows us to measure that over the thousands and millennium of years. coming from electricity, agriculture, fossil fuels. >> i think we all felt it before you came out with the data that proves it. >> absolutely. go outside. >> derek, thank you. japanese researchers are looking at something lost to all of us millions

david in anchorage. caller: good morning, greta.et up very early every morning in alaska to listen to "washington journal." i just love listening to people across the country and their valued opinions. when the segment started, both of your guests seemed to talk about funding of k-12 education and possibly how it would improve the k-12 system in our nation. a goodet me give you data point. in the state of alaska, we spend nearly $22,000 per student. in the national testing, alaska in fourth grade reading, therefore it does not appear that there is more funding that improves educational outcome. the other point i would like to make is that you are talking about increasing teacher salaries. anchorage school district, the average teacher salary and benefits, when you talk about teacher salary, you have to talk about the total compensation package. in the anchorage school district, it is over $100,000 per teacher year. bottom line is we need accountability for results and what happens in the classroom. and finally, the other point i wou

anchorage was 6 1/2 degrees above their average temperature for the entire month.so across europe in celsius. fi five sfleparate countries record their hottest day on record. and get this, in sweden that particular country actually recorded its warmest temperature north of the arctic circle and that of course caused wildfires with heat like that. and it also had a detrimental effect on the arctic sea ice coverage which by the way is just under 20% below where it should be this time of year. in the month of july setting new records, you watched it disappear right before your eyes, not only in sea ice volume but sea ice thickness. so what is actually happening? we are measuring the heat trapping gases, greenhouse gases, at record levels. something that the planet has not seen in 800,000 years. we have ice core samples, tree ring samples, biological data that gives us a glimpse into the past history across the globe. we've never seen co2 coffin s d concentrations this high. it comes from electricity, heat production, other land use. and the concerns, there is a link w
